VN Ren'Py WVM [S2 Ch. 1 Ep. 13 B5] [Braindrop]

[darkstorm678910]

It is really surprising. WVM used to be the fastest updating game around here, by a lot. I guess getting married and having a kid on the way makes you rethink your priorities. I understand long delays, but when you miss a deadline, you should at least say something concrete. "Keep checking every day", is kind of a crappy answer, to be honest. Just say next 2 weeks, or next 4 weeks, or update in June, whatever.

I am not quite putting WVM in that category yet, but it seems a lot of games I enjoy are on near abandoned status. The fans just don't know it yet.

Well, all the best Braindrop, either way.

I agree with you but I feel as if once the pandemic started people were stuck inside and once the ran through the latest version of games the demanded more and more. Some creators like BD listened and started working harder to make the community happier so I understand if he is starting to feel the burn of that work now and I would be happier that once he comes out with this update that he takes a long needed break like 4-6 months because the man really needs it.

I agree, "keep checking every day" means no deadline. People last few pages are trying to use real world to justify some things, but in real life, let's not even talk missing project deadlines just showing up late to work. If you are late to work a few times out of the year due flat tires or road accidents or illness everyone understands. But after a few weeks straight of showing up late, your boss is going to start looking at you with a sus look.

Waaaaaaah! WAAAAA! The pathetic cries of the impatient.

The is no need for an abandoned or on hold tag. To suggest so is skill lacking trolling.

Atleast the guy obsessed with giant cocks sticks to a believable skit. But this thread really has gotten sad since the purge.

beyond the fact that that this doesn't apply here not even in a million years....out of curiosity...who is this boss you mention?

That has got to be one of the worst analogies I have ever heard.....

 

[Freki]

unless you're working on the rework there's no way of knowing exactly the size , so...let's stop there with the misinformation.

WHAT misinformation? BD has stated that MONSTER COCK is going away and being reduced to a size more along what was seen in day 4 ish.... you might want to think about what you are talking about and look at what has been said by the Developer for months.

Yes he said a lot of things ...hasn't shown anything ...so you using a example of how it will be ..is...well...stupid...
Since you don;t know...
Understand now?
Or do you want me to paint you a picture?

 

[Smarmint]

I am confident WVM will continue in some form, even if development becomes super slow compared to what we have seen in the past, but it does seem like Braindrop's heart isn't really in it as much as before. Maybe I am completely wrong, what do I know. If it's his health, that is more important that a game, no matter how much we all enjoy it. It is understandable after overworking himself so much over the last year. Plus, with his changes in his personal life, I am sure he has other things to do that take priority.

He can take all the time he wants, but if you miss a deadline, it is better to say something and give a new target. Just courtesy to the fans. Even if he says, "Well, I was wrong, it's a lot harder than I thought to finish it up, so it will be out in about 3 weeks", I would understand and not have said anything.

Anyway, I didn't intend to make a big deal about it, it just seems like all my favorite games are slipping with deadline after deadline missed, without any explanation or new targets by the devs.

I guess when he said that he was editing it to be that way i believed his statements. I doubt he's going to increase it across the board. paint what ever picture you want but he HAS shown and explained what he is going to do to MC's dick. if you don't believe him that's up to you, the misinformation then is YOURS not mine. If I am incorrect and proven it then I will admit that when the time comes but till then I will go with what the DEVELOPER has said and that is NOT misinformation.

 

[Braindrop]

Maybe I am completely wrong

Yes to this part.

Heart is still as much in it as ever. Just getting married, moving across the country, and becoming a father are all very time consuming things that take priority over the game. Working as hard as I can and pausing pledges, also "No given date, just check to see if it is out yet if not check the next day." is not a deadline. It's quite literally me saying it'll be out when it's out.

There's no such a thing like 'missed deadlines' in games like this. Especially when he's pausing pledges month after month - you don't get new content but you are not paying either for all the work he says he's actually doing. Update will be out when it's ready, it's all what he's saying with that 'keep checking every day' - and even if the game ends here, no one would have the right to feel scammed as in other games mentioned. So stop bullshitting this thread with nonsense comparations. I'm quite shocked to see this kind of comments coming from people who actually supports him on Patreon: if you don't believe in him, why are you still subscribed?

 

[RedNoise]

Welp, summoned the man himself.
Hope everything's going well BD, don't worry, most of us can wait

I agree 100% I may be jonesing for my next installment of WVM! but you know what? I can deal and just want our lovely Braindrop to be healthy, doing well, happy and from there I will take what I can get! I support him and I will never say my support was for nothing!

 

[HornyyPussy]

What am I missing about this whole MC dick size reduction debate?

Yes, BD reduced the size somewhat but the guy is still hung like a small horse so what exactly is the problem?

the first two days are being modified so that it is uniform across the whole VN. that is what Braindrop has said but apparently that's misinformation.

No, in the rework of week 1 the size will be altered to match the later days (smaller).

also don't forget ...we don't know the exact size...like someone else keeps saying...

Mind Drop #22 (05/11/2021) Almost

Yo!
Okay, I said no more posts until the update but there's been an uptick in frustration over the whole "Check to see if the update is out, if not check the next day". So I'm here to give what information I can.

Serious mode: ON

What's the hold up?
There's been many things like planning a wedding, planning to be a father, moving across the country, changing how I want to do releases, and dealing with a medical issue with my eyes for an entire month. Those are the things that have led to the larger delays and they're all things that still take up a huge chunk of my time and they do take priority over the game.

What's currently holding me up is just the normal work process I have for the game. I've added things to certain scenes, reworked / finished dialogue, remade / compiled animations, remade / edited images, and I still have stuff to do along those lines. Good shit takes time.
I've also had PC issues. I had two PSU's pop in the span of two weeks and the purple loop in my second machine went bad and gunked up all of my blocks / rads. So I had to tear apart everything to clean it and that is a huge machine. (took apart the blue loop as well just to make sure it didn't go bad later). That alone took an entire day.

So, how long will it be until it's done?
It will be done when it is done and I promise I'm working as hard as I can on it with every free moment I have.
I've mentioned it before but I no longer want to give deadlines. I have way too many real life things to stress about right now without an arbitrary date being tacked on. I'll admit it was my fault to say keep checking every day. I didn't mean it to be taken literally, I'm a chill dude and just wanted a chill way to say "it'll be done when it's done".
So, I'll say again. I will work as hard as I possibly can on it and it will be out the moment it is done and pledges will be paused until then.

Serious mode: OFF

Okay, sorry about that. People seem to confuse friendly for fake so I wanted to be as clear as I could about that.

And thank you guys so much for 3000+ patrons!!! Words can not express how thankful I am for each and every single one of you.
Admittedly I wanted this milestone to happen after the update as it feels strange to celebrate in a weird time but fuck it. 3000 is a fucking insane number and should be celebrated.
I still have the screenshot of me hitting 100 patrons thinking that I had already hit my long term goal and whatever happened after didn't matter. Never ever expected to make it here. And it's all thanks to you guys.
Your support has not only changed my life but the lives of my family. I can never say thank you enough. It means the fucking world to me.

...but I do have something to say about that.
I know there's a number of people that support me that have doubts or even people that can not afford to pledge but do anyways.
So I want to say if you have ANY reason that gives you pause to pledge to me then please remove your pledge. Simply put I am very well supported and I do not want the money from someone who could use it more than me. I also don't want the money from people that don't like the way I've handled things or what I have planned for the future. I appreciate the fuck out of your support but I don't want you to hurt yourself financially or emotionally in anyway. As cliché as it sounds, I genuinely don't care about the money and if you do unpledge then know that there's no hard feelings in any shape, way, or form.

Felt that needed to be said.

Okay, I'm going back to work. This is honestly 100% the last post until the the juicy 1500+ render update.
Thank you all so much for everything, and for being patient.
Love you guys <3

Well, all the best Braindrop, either way.

The creators of these games are never required to have any update, and if they do give one, never assume that's the true date because real life does happen. Hell, he could pull what some other creators do and just not say anything for months to years and just let his supporters keep paying him.
